Casanova
della SPINETTA, Terricciola Tuscany*
Our newest project lies
in Tuscany in the village of Terricciola between Pisa and Volterra. Here we
make our Sezzana, a 95% Sangiovese from Casciana Terme, as Sangiovese to us, is the ambassador
of the Tuscan terrain. The remaining 5% are Colorino, another Tuscan
indigenous grape variety, that gives a dark ruby red color to the wine. From
the 65 hectare of vineyards we also make another 95% Sangiovese single
vineyard wine, called Sassontino. These Sangiovese grapes grow near
Casanova, Terriciola. The first vintage of Sassontino was 2003, released
in 2006.
In 2004 for the first time, we also harvested our third Sangiovese, made from young vines (4-5 years),
called Il Nero di Casanova, this fruity,
delicious
more
approachable wine was released for the first
time in the
Fall of 2005.

always have the same philosophy for quality and respect in mind.
